英语歌曲:My father 我的父亲

My father 我的父亲

Artist：Judy Collins 茱迪科林斯

Song：My Father

 

My father always promised me

That we would live in France

We'd go boating¹ on the Seine

And I would learn to dance

 

We lived in Ohio then

He worked in the mines

On his dreams like boats

We knew we would sail² in time

 

My sisters soon were gone

To Denver and Cheyenne

Marrying their own grownup dreams

The lilacs and the man

 

I stand behind the young girls dreams

Only danced alone

Hoping, hoping that my fathers dreams

would take me home.

 

I live in Paris now

My children dance and dream

Hearing the ways of a miner's life

In words they've never seen

 

I sail my memories of home

Like boats across the Seine

And watch my fathers eyes

Watching the setting sun

Set in my fathers eyes again
